Hey we miss all you avid anglers that come in the shop all the time! Well the good news is that fishing is going to open, but the bad news is that we won't be able to open the shop or start guiding yet. Or maybe that is good news for you haha!

Most of you want to know about buying flies, shuttles, boat rentals, and guided services.
